Availability of baby birds all depends on the season that we're in. Some of our birds are seasonal breeders (for example the Ringneck parrots) and will only be available from September - December.
While Cockatiels and other bird species can breed year-round if conditions are right, we believe in prioritizing the well-being of our birds by providing them with scheduled rest periods. Just as humans need time to recharge, our feathered friends benefit from periods of relaxation and stress-free living. This helps them maintain optimal health and ensures they are better equipped for future breeding seasons.
Please feel free to contact us to find out what is available!
Cockatiel chicks available:
Cost
The cost of hand reared birds are higher than what you will pay for an adult bird, as we are spending a lot of time and effort with hand rearing the bird - feeding them specialized baby food - ensuring that they are tame, healthy, and ready for their new homes.
Cost is also dependent on the season and general market availability.
But the general guidelines:
Cockatiel babies are going for +- R 350 - R 400.
Ringneck babies are going for anything between R 800 - R 2000 depending on mutation.
